an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

shouldn't it be about time for Sang's annual Harvest Festival?
Um... yeah. Yeah, it should. (Edward asks: is it a leather pants occasion, or more floral skirt? And will there be pumpkins?)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And will there be pumpkins?
Not so much. Too many people forgot what time it was and got stuck inside the pumpkins when they reverted from carriages to squash. It was a mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
FYI, running IE 5.5 on Win 95, I get the staple instead of the fancy pi.
You don't have to try to fix it or anything.

Anyone notice that although on the message center and main page, the Natter thread title reads correctly: Natter 17 = 4² - cos(π): Nilly — Could This Be Mathier?
On the top line of the browser window (or at least on the top of my browser window) it reads:
[User name]: Natter 17 = 4² - cos( t font face="times" π t /font ): Nilly — Could This Be Mathier?
Not a complaint, or even a problem. I just think it's funny that the HTML coding is showing up.

Interesting Cindy. I can't view the code from work, but I'll have a look later on. It might be unfixable -- has anyone ever seen a webpage where the title displayed html formatting? It might be a function of html that the text within the title attribute always displays the raw html tags.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm pretty sure it's unfixable -- at any rate, I've never seen formatted text up there in any browser.

Nutty mentioned it over in Natter, too. IE does it, and Mozilla does it. In Mozilla, the em dash is replaced by a block, although that could just mean that there is no em dash my default screen character set.

That's exactly why.

Whereas I get the incorrect and somewhat surreal "Natter 17=4" in my browser window thingy. It's kinda weird because other, longer thread titles show up fine. I think, like me, by browser might just not like math.
